have an abortion and engaged a friend who works
in a hospital.
The quack 'doctor' was said to have given the girl
some drugs to flush out the pregnancy which was
already in the third month but when the foetus
could not be flushed out, he gave her some local
herbs to drink.
The herbs was said to have reacted violently
leading to the girl bleeding profusely. he parents
rushed her to a hospital where doctors confirmed
that she had taken drugs meant to terminate the
pregnancy and proceeded to evacuate her womb

that got her pregnant and took her to the quack
doctor for the abortion.
The parents later reported the case to the police
and Gimba and his friend were arrested and are
now in detention while the police continue with their
investigations.
